Bio:

Caldreas Arannis was born on Ches 25 in the year 1459 to his Eladrin parents Aran
and Calaereth Arannis. His father Aran is a Lord Regent’s High Sword of Bear’s Head
and one of the original members of the Cloaked Raiders from over a century ago. His
mother Calaereth was originally an interpreter for the noble families of Waterdeep. As
Caldreas grew throughout his childhood he exhibited a remarkable memory. He
rapidly went through his primary education and caught the attention of a town scholar
and wizard, Rolando, who took him as an apprentice at 12 years of age. Calaereth
wished for her son Caldreas to become an educator and Aran trained his son to use
the traditional Eladrin longsword, but Caldreas was fascinated with the magical
cantrips that Rolando had taught him and wished to become a full-fledged wizard in
his own right. He marveled at the work of a gnome wizard named Omega and dreamed
of being an archmage of his own.

As Caldreas entered his teens he assisted a half-elf female teacher named Oriel in her
classroom and poured over ancient tomes in Rolando’s possesion. His remarkable
memory would retain facts like very few could. He spent considerable time studying
arcana, history, languages and religion. His father made sure that Caldreas maintain
his physical conditioning, continuing his training with the longsword and making
Caldreas a respectable athlete and runner in his own right.

Caldreas came of age and yet he didn’t know where his path lay. He could become a
full-fledged teacher as his knowledge already surpassed Oriel and yet that didn’t
interest him. He continued collecting knowledge with Rolando, aiding Oriel in her
teaching, and yet his early mastery of fire spells caught the attention of Omega who
encouraged him to become an adventurer. At twenty years of age he made the
announcement to his parents that he was joining an adventuring company known as
the Company of the Siren Song. His parents expressed their support, but Caldreas
could detect a great fear in the eye of his mother. She had seen her share of brave
adventurers who marched off to glory and never returned. A single tear flowed from
her eye as Caldreas went on his first adventure. Caldreas soon learned a new
appreciation for her skill at cooking as trail rations are drab and tasteless and
whenever he returned to Bear’s Head he eagerly sought a hot meal from her. His
father always gave him an encouraging embrace and was very proud of him. Aran
was also thankful that Caldreas spent less time in Rolando’s libarary and more time in
the real world, developing strong friendships with his new companions and becoming a
valuable asset in the defense of Bear’s Head and the West Vale.
